Official summary
The Delivery Stop issued on November 22 for certain 2014 model year E89 vehicles produced from March to June 2013, remains in effect. The fuel pump pressure regulator could cause a noise that is audible to the driver. The fuel pump still functions properly in this case. Affected vehicles in center inventory must not be delivered until the in-tank fuel delivery unit has been replaced. Do not order parts at this time. The Service Information bulletin with parts and warranty information is in preparation. A follow-up DCS message will be published by Monday, December 2 with additional information.
What a TSB means. Technical service bulletins are repair guidance manufacturers send to dealers — they are not recalls, and repairs are not automatically free (warranty extensions are an exception worth checking). The full document is available via NHTSA’s vehicle lookup.
